Treatment of Supine Hypertension in Autonomic Failure (CPAP)
Treatment of Supine Hypertension in Autonomic Failure With Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 6 Nov 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Supine hypertension is a common problem that affects at least 50% of patients with primary autonomic failure. Supine hypertension can be severe and complicates the treatment of orthostatic hypotension. The purpose of this study is to assess whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) decreases blood pressure in autonomic failure patients with supine hypertension.
